Liz Borowski
Liz Borowski is an artist living and working in Portland, Oregon. With a BFA from the University of Arizona, her work has been featured in exhibitions throughout the Pacific Northwest. She has taught felting classes at Naked Sheep & Twisted yarn stores. Teaching beginning watercolor classes in her home studio in NE Portland, Liz says her creative process is akin to a magical practice - "When I paint, I get out of the way and let the work flow through me. The alchemy of mark-making and mapping generates a search for meaning, a tool for learning, and a way to find my place in the world. Each painting is made of layers of watercolor, gouache and wax pastels. The final step to my paintings is stitching embroidery thread. I find the application of mending the painting to be healing, and a reflective process that speaks to a time-honored hand arts tradition.”
